What should I say about this huge release I'm have been waiting for for such a long time? The more one expects, the more disappointment one will get? ^^;
Looks awesome as expected O_O
Even though it's of a smaller scale, two different reds are molded for parts like the shoulder armors and feet, just like the MG version.
Also, the beam parts seem to be molded in clear yellow instead of luminous green.
Got to love the huge parts for rear skirt armor and shield.
The beam sabers cannot be stored in the forearm.
Also, one design for Gunpla which I dislike a lot: shoulder armors' joints being designed to be together with the shoulders themselves. So when the shoulders are bent, the armors will also follow :(
The mount rack for the shield is a bonus, allowing it to be mounted on the side of the forearm. I often wonder why didn't Bandai throw in such a simple part for the MG version last time ^^;

Guess what, no transparent sticks for you to display the Funnels, despite being hotly rumored in the past. Sazabi will have to borrowed them from Jadg Doga.
Then again, am I cutting out Sazabi from my list? No way, the few flaws mentioned are no way near the awesomeness of the end model. Sazabi is a must get for all Gunpla fans for sure.
For Zoids fans, Saber Tiger is also available now from Hobby Search.
Also, more images of 1/400 Gundam Collection DX7. Despite being mentioned a few times before, this is the first posting where you get to see all seven types of this series. Unfortunately they are all unpainted (the actual merchandises are pre-painted of course). Even though I'm not a fan of such a small Gundam gashapon, I must say that their details are astonishing, especially for Z Plus C1.
